I am a registered and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years experience as a helping professional. My therapeutic experience and training is broad.

I have a generalist counselling/psychotherapy background in private practice and a counselling/casework background in working for NSW Health and non-government organizations in the areas of chronic illness, drug and alcohol, sexual health, men’s issues,  family support, grief and loss, homelessness and generalist counselling.

I divide my time between organizational work, where I am currently employed part-time as a counsellor for the Northern NSW Local Health District, and private practice.

In my private practice I co-direct the Northern Rivers Counselling Practice, www.northernriverscounselling.com.au, with psychologist Alice Robertson, and I am the director of a therapy centre in Mullumbimby, The Stuart St Practice Rooms, www.stuartstpractice.com.au. I work with individuals, couples and groups and facilitate various therapeutic and educational groups. An entry point to all my work is www.pcampiao.com.
